The 58 Edsel has safety glass all around, and padded dash.  It was 
designed as a safer car.
1961 Corvair.  What about the other years?   This was a great 
economical car.
1970 Gremlin.   Ever drive one?  These were fun and inexpensive.
1975 Bricklin SV-1.   Ever drive one? You could walk away from a  head 
on collision at 50 mph.   This was before air bags. This was a great 
vehicle concerned with safety and performance.

1981 DeLorean.   This guy must have never driven one.  He is an idiot.

1997 GM EV1.   These were great fully electric cars.  They were fast 
and didn't need gasoline, tune-ups, starters, water pumps, fuel pumps, 
alternators, etc.  They required so little maintenance that they scared 
the shit out of GM and their part suppliers.   GM destroyed over $4 
million worth of new electric vehicles,  1 year before, gasoline 
tripled in price.   They did this when they were LOOSING 1 billion 
dollars.  It did not make economic sense- unless  Cheney and his oil 
buddies bribed GM executives  Want to guess what these electrics would 
be worth today?

A toyota RAV 4 electric sold for $65,000.   A 1998 Dodge Van sold for 
over $50,000.  This was more than twice their new price.   Gee, I don't 
know of any other new car that doubles in value.
